What's wrong with IRXEXCOM and IKJCT441? OTOH, there is no documented interface for a REXX variable pool not created by REXX. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Populating such a B-tree is another matter. I know of no documented interface, not even including EXECOM, to extract a complete description of the data represented by a Rexx compound symbol. >On Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 9:13 PM Clark Morris wrote: >> >> [Default] On 28 May 2019 09:51:13 -0700, (Seymour J Metz) wrote: >> >> >The Sun is hot.
